5 Transcendent: An outstanding fragrance, unparalleled in beauty; a masterpiece and potential classic. An essential fragrance.4 Excellent: A superior fragrance, expertly composed and executed. Very good and highly recommended.3 Satisfactory: An adequate fragrance, a competent effort. Inconspicuously pleasant and satisfying, but hardly groundbreaking.2 Disappointing: A disheartening fragrance that fails on many levels yet still manages to retain a faint glimmer of what could have been. The most frustrating fragrances. Not recommended.1 Dreck: An awful fragrance; a complete and utter failure. Avoid at all costs.
